TLE&PC’S is lucky to have a passionate and dedicated group of staff, volunteers, friends and supporters who are constantly trying to make a difference in the lives of our children. The West Pokot District Hospital in Kapenguria has now partnered with the TLE&PC to provide frequent medical checks, advice as well as look at the well being of our pupils.

Co-Curriculum Activities


Our children have been involved in different extra curriculum such as dramatized dances and singing activities as they prepare to once again participate in the Music Festival interschool competitions.

A day to Remember for the Kids to Kids children – Their Day Out!

The Kids to Kids children were taken to a Day out and a study tour at the Kitale Museum and were later treated to a special dinner prepared at the school, as a way to appreciate their effort and commitment to study despite their past experience.

The children later on received some clothes and pairs of shoes from ON Shoe.
